I have a question about how best to update my mobo. I remember reading that you should only update BIOS if there's a need to, but what about the chipset? On the lists in the OP it seems to list drivers for certain devices, but I'm wondering: does the chipset itself (P67) require updates, or no? I checked in Device Manager but can't find the chipset listed anywhere.

yes update bios to latest firmware version.
sata2 ports are the problem. sata port=chipset
make sure you have sata devices plugged into sata3 ports on motherboard.
The white intel sata port should be used for ssd and hdd therefore intel rapid storage driver should be installed.
I use marvell sata port for dvd drive without specific driver (default windows).
in SimpleTech's original post i think its under SATA.

i just thought of something. Microcenter will be doing replacement program on the mobos. I'll until the get the asus maximus IV in stock and pay the differents if microcenter doesn't charge an arm and a leg for it.

Where do you think the problem might be? CPU/Motherboard? CPU would be surprising but looking @ the linux errors ...
The CPU is on it's way to the reseller but since they removed the P67 boards from sale, I'm keeping mine until I can test another CPU on it.
If the CPU isn't at fault I guess I'll ask for P67 refund and buy another P8P67 Pro somewhere else.Edited by Infrabasse - 2/7/11 at 9:34am
